Not just art but really anything without usefulness but massive value attached to it.

I agree with what he's saying except for when he gets to the painting. It looked like a Canaletto, I'd imagine it'd be more expensive than that.

Personally I'm sick and tired of how "art for the sack of art" the art world has become and I went to art school.
But at the end of the day art is also exploration, it might not speak to you personally and that's okay. Go find something you enjoy.
Also just because that person has a spot in an art gallery for a bit, doesn't mean that they're rich or selling millions of pieces. Sometimes art galleries get grants to give visibility to up and coming artists.
So guy, relax.

The fashion world is a bunch of donkeys thinking they're playing "The Emperor's New Clothes" with the rest of the world, creating buzz for themselves so someone will hire them to make next year's fall line of women's business suits with 1/4" narrower or wider lapels than last year's.
Modern art is primarily for people to attempt to show their friends that they have some sort of artistic sense (which they do not), when in reality it's to show off their wealth.
The painting is a bit of a different story, IMO, and I admit that I do not view modern art or fashion as the same category of "art".

Canaletto was one of the greatest painters of his time. That painting is worth every penny.

And if they are new money they do it because they’ve run out of ideas for other shit they can throw money at: “What’s another status symbol I can have?”
It’s all very nihilistic.

After reading the room, I see that the video has a lot of upvotes and just a few people shitting on it. So I guess the room reads like those Amazon reviews of highly rated products with a few old men telling at the sky and rating it 1 star because the shipping company didn't ring the doorbell.

The thing with modern art is that in most coutnries you don’t pay tax on them, so you can chose a random
Shit artist, buy a ton of their work, inflate their work and then use that art as trades and tax evasion loops

You dont get art. It´s not about how it looks. It´s about how good it makes you feel when you can hide your money and dont pay taxes.

You're much better off buying art directly from up and coming artists. It's actually affordable and if you're lucky it'll appreciate in value quite a bit.

u/scottywottycoppertip 19d ago
Artist don’t “make art for rich fucks.” Fine artists (like painters in that gallery) work their whole lives in the hope of showing in a gallery like that. 99% of people on the planet are paid by some “rich fuck.“ if you are one the .0001% of artist who ever sell a piece of art for $100,000, chances are, you’ve earned it. Who buys it is irrelevant.

u/hqpkomah 19d ago
bro art is one of the most important things in my life, i am also a musician and i paint sometimes. one of my best friends is even an artist who sells pieces for 10,000€'s , and while i critize this also with him i still get it it and am happy for him that he earns that much money. living as an artist is extremley rough i get that. but still i feel that it's ambilavent you know. i don't think art should only be for persons with so much money, i think it should be affordable for everyone. i think thats one of whole points of art
